Richard Webb Jr. joins Lit Chat to discuss his book Boats Against the Current. \;Boat s Against the Current is an essential document for anyone who has read The Great Gatsby and wondered at the fantastical world whose stor y it tells. After Barbara Probst Solomon wrote in a piece for \;Th e New Yorker\, that Westport was the real setting for \;The Great Gatsb y\, Richard Webb Jr. knew he had to research the claim. Webb grew -up in Westport and always felt a connection between Fitzgerald's work and the town. \;
